Liberalism is european in origin, as Capitalism first truly took hold there. It isn't the "modern divide" but the notion of Liberalism as a progressive motion or regressive motion.

Capitalism was first instituted by the first Liberal nation- the USA. Europe was mostly mercantilist

No, the mode of production creates the ideology, not the opposite.
